Abstract

In this study, the flavonoids in Ornithogalum umbellatum L. grows around Edirne have been investigated. Ethanolic extracts of the plant were seperated and purificated by chromatographic techniques. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by UV, IR, NMR and EI and FAB mass spectroscopies. Three C-glycosylflavones were identified in the aerial parts of Ornithogalum umbellatum L.; Isovitexin (1), Saponarin (2), Isoorientin (3).
